LGBT in Israel
The Fund for Gay and Lesbian Causes lends support to members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities in Israel. A philanthropic fund of The Jewish Community Endowment Fund, it was established by participants of the Journey of Pride in April 1999 when members of the Bay Area gay and lesbian community participated in the Federation-sponsored trip to Israel.
“The San Francisco community has taken a lead in connecting to the gay and lesbian community in Israel,” says Alvin H. Baum, Jr., chair of the Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
Journey of Pride alumni have supported a variety of gay, lesbian and transgender organizations and projects in Israel, including
-
Leo Baeck Education Center in Haifa, supporting diversity training programs
-
Open House in Jerusalem, a gay and lesbian community center
-
Israel AIDS Task Force
-
Aguda, the Association of Gay Men, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgenders in Israel.
